Heya! I'm a new member to Cubebrush, enlisted for the Artwar but I've really enjoyed being around, so I want to branch out and start posting my regular stuff here too :triumph: :stuck_out_tongue_winking_eye: . This was a piece I did back for the Facebook Retro-Gasm art contest, but re-rendered when Marmoset Toolbag 3 came out to get new lighting. I present you my Cloud Strife tribute Final Fantasy VII!

I'd love for you guys to share your thoughts and comments, so please feel free to C&C! :smile:

Wireframe and side-shots can also be found on my artstation, gonna eventually upload a Marmoset Viewer for it, but for now it's back to the ArtWar!

Awesome work :smile: I'm a Cloud fan myself. What I'd change are his arm muscles. They're a bit off atm. They look as if they were put on his arm like balloons. Everything else looks so good :sunny:

Something minor I just noticed is the index finger of his right hand. If he's holding the sword his index finger should be pointed towards the centre of his hand. Right now that hand looks too much like a square. I hope you understand what I'm saying ^^" If not, I could draw on your pic to show you what I mean, if you want.

@Kigerneko Thank you! This is actually the first crtiqiue I've heard with that point, so I'm interested hearing it :smile: I went for anatomical interpretation to make him super buff but still with the skinny build, thought it looked alright but I can' unsee the ballons now that you've pointed them out haha.

Totally fair on the finger! you're right, it's not a huge amount but holding a broom in my hand is enough to point it out. I think it's worth pointing out as a subtlety that helps ground the character in reality, and is something I'll remember for my next piece :smile:
